Councillor Richard Watts, chairman of the LGA’s Resources Board, said: “Faced with a Government funding settlement that assumes maximum council tax rises and such funding pressures, many councils feel they have little choice but to ask residents to pay more council tax again this year to help them try and protect their local services.

“With councils facing a funding gap of more than £3 billion this year, council tax rises will not prevent the need for continued cutbacks to local services.

“If the Government fails to adequately fund local government as part of the Spending Review there is a real risk to the future financial viability of some services and councils.”
